First let me talk about religion.
Religion - why do most humans believe in Religion or some kind of super power who created us all? Because the possibility an alternate theory or belief system is incomprehensible to us. We want to imply grandeur meaning to our own existence rather than believing in an objective reality.
You might ask me, what is the objective reality then? My answer is I do not know what objective reality is. I do like to believe that the reality of the universe may not involve religion or politics.
I like to believe that irrespective of country, religion, race or every thing that the media use today to divide humanity - does not exist in the universe. This idea may be comprehensible only to an inquisitive Scientific mind or a complete idiotic fool like me.
Is one race superior to another? No. Is one country or continent superior to another? No.
We desperately seek meaning to our existence. We want to believe that - what we believe, the place where we are born, the race we were born to are all superior compared to another population. Yes we seek validation by comparing.
Let us accept the fact that, some geographical areas of the earth where humans inhabit is "seen as" the most comfortable and problem free zones by humans from other geographical areas. Not sure how this will help me in developing this idea, but let me just write it here.
Earth supporting life and how life originated on earth itself is a wonder and a unique thing for all humans. So all life forms have a DNA. The evolution of DNA gave the life forms - different sizes, shapes, adaptations and intelligence over time.
All these life forms except humans - Animals - do they have religion?No. Plants - do they have religion? No. Fungi - No, Bacteria - No, Viruses - No.
But in animals - the desire to control or lead an entire population was seen and exhibited by certain members in certain species. Naturally, this tendency was seen in humans as well. This tendency in human population took many forms and out of which religion and politics appealed to the masses. These two became widely accepted concepts for leading and power control by different populations.
This religion and politics forces humans to breed within their own population, thus condensing more and more lethal genes leading to expression of such alleles.
Let me give a little bit of genetics level explanation here. We all humans are prone to, or are already mutating on a DNA level because of exposure to carcinogenic agents like UV Rays and a thousand other chemicals we do not know. Mutation is a change in DNA code at a particular locus in a cell in our body. Genes are nothing but codes of DNA that is translated into proteins. Change in genetic code gives us different traits.
Mutations accumulate over generations and as they accumulate, the cumulative effects are visible after several generations within a population - i.e. inbreeding within a population over the course of many years or centuries causes the accumulation of lethal genes (recessive alleles).
This results in population reduction. If different races or geographically isolated populations interbreed, it dilutes the lethal genes and alleles. Why do incest children have more genetic disease and short life span than a child born out of parents of different races/ geographic regions?For a lethal gene to express, the child should get the same allelic pair from both parents. The chance of this is higher in incest children. I gave the example of incest children because incest children are the purest form of inbreeding in a population. If you do not know much about population genetics, I suggest you google or read it somewhere. Discussing in depth population genetics is out of scope here.
Coming back to the topic of religion and politics - certain humans wanted to control an entire population, got mad with greed so they invented religion and politics.
The religious texts of any religion were written by people and not gods. So we cannot prove the existence of god. Religion is madly and blindly following the belief system of an old person who wrote the religious texts - these are just my words. An entire population blindly following the belief of an ancient person without any logic or proof is a bit crazy. If you believe in a religion and that belief defines your meaning, I don't have anything against it. Your life's meaning is what you make of it.
Politics is a strategical game invented by certain humans for the benefit of the leaders who lead the humans to obtain certain results - like migrating to a place, getting control over a new geographical area etc. These are all for more comforts and for their own benefit - not particularly for the people's benefit.
In ancient days, it was Kings and Queens but nowadays it is the so called democracy which controls populations. In short, nowadays, instead of kings and queens, it is controlled by the people who have a lot of money. These people with a lot of money are the true policy makers. These people indirectly control and determine what should certain populations believe and what reforms should happen in certain areas of the earth.
These powerful people determine which areas of the earth should be hated and which areas should be loved by the mass. Such people made the geographical migrations (which was the characteristic of many ancient tribes) improbable. They controlled population flow from one region to another through visas and passports.This actually restricts evolution of human race.
What religion and politics does not promote is compassion which is the essence of humanity and higher intelligence.
Some might argue - "This particular religion is peaceful, it promotes compassion ". Then let me tell you - religion was invented over the course of time based on beliefs of one person's point of view - the compassion mentioned in your religious text is the view point of the person who wrote it - just like what I am writing now.
We have harry potter books now . Over the course of time in centuries - if people chose to believe Harry Potter is a god that existed and J.K Rowling was a prophet then there you go - another religion will be added to the existing religions. I wonder what the name of that religion be? Hogwarts? Pure breeds? Muggle haters? Which one would you choose?
If you chose to blindly believe what I write here is the truth - then there you go - I succeeded in inventing a new religion - and Yes I am YOUR PROPHET :)
Books are the author's point of view. Do not blindly follow them.
When you hate in the name of religion, politics, geography, race - you feel agitated and irritable.But when you show compassion to another being - you feel good about yourself. Those who are cruel - they are yet to discover compassion.
If you think religion or politics or superstitions are to be laughed at - no. It is not to be laughed at. These has to be taken seriously. We need to try to change the mindsets of people with such radical beliefs rather than laughing at it. At least try to let their minds be open to the possibility of an objective reality which we are yet to discover.
Let us open our minds to the possibility of a reality where there is no need of superstitions, religion or politics but compassion.
